| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! Some long thoughts ahead for sureBenchmarkMytek BrooklynAnybody have any good experience with Schiit? Seem to be seeing a lot of threads on them lately | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? Ah....Modest as well | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! I was all set on an all in one box solution for sure.However even my stubbornness can see that while convenient it may not be the pinnacle of musical nirvana and it maybe time to consider changes.I still think I would try a decent dac before the c... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! Of course Dave, I have not totally ruled out replacing the OPPO with a modwright OPPO yet.However that only has an effect on Redbook CD replay.Moving to a better DAC should improve CD replay, my ripped collection and Tidal replay so in theory I sh... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! DaveYou are exactly right and that would be the plan. Fortunately the C48 has 2 pairs of xlr inputs so I can compare say the oppo dac signal to the c48 and the "whatever" dac signal to the c48 both via xlr.And the same with the vault, compare sing... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! @shadorne Just been researching the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ which at $2195 seems like it may very well be a great replacement "all in one box" unit to the C48.Heck if I buy one and it works out well I will even be in the black after the sale of the C4... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! The Benchmark DAC3 with the analog inputs looks very interesting. In theory I could try without the C48 and run my vinyl through a phono preamp then into the analog input of the DAC3.More food for thought | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! @mr_m It does not look like the codex supports digital coax inputs, just usb and an optical input so not going to work for my setup right now@shadorne I could try the Benchmark without the c48 but then I lose the analog input from my vinyl deck so... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! @mapman I actually have a Benchmark DAC on my eBay watchlist..... Benchmark DAC2 DX at 1600I do not know the model at all | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! @marktomaras I appreciate your reply which is very fair and actually good food for thought and future consideration.Usually when I tell people I do not want to go the computer route they get all bent out of shape and holier than thou on me.From th... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! Some nice suggestions, I did think along the lines of an older model with large power supplies like Esoteric or similr.@marktomaras One thing I steered way clear of when entering the digital realm, have a number of threads on this subject...lol, w... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! @willemj To answer the latter part firstI do not believe that the inbuilt DAC in either the vault or the oppo are the last word in DACs by far and if I prefer their sound to the DAC in the C48 then quite likely a true dedicated DAC could sound onl... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! I just knew someone was going to ask that...lol. So much I was on the verge of editing to state that ALL inputs have been level matched with test tone and sound meter app on my phone. While the actual decibel might not be 100% correct it is good e... | |
